I haven't messed around with the chroot scripts yet, but I'm thinking I may lean that way in the near future.
Have fun over there-Berlin's a wonderful city. I highly recommend that you check out http://www.berlinerunterwelten.de/ if you have any free time- lots of neat history, and the tours (some of which are available in english) are only a few euro. Also be sure to eat your fill of schnitzel & wursts, and if you get tired of indigenous cuisine you should try a Döner kebab (like a gyro, but...better).
BTW, anyone know if they are planning to stream any of the presentations at Maemo Summit 2008? The wiki page seems mostly focused on people who are actually attending; I'd love to follow from home if they made anything available.
Edit: I did see some references to making audio and some video available after the fact, which I suppose is almost as good. Looks like they nixed any streaming media :/
